Ach, Arbitron. I did that a number of years ago. I told them straight out
when they called that I very rarely listened to the radio, excepting
occasional DX work or KIG98 (the local NOAA station, which doesn't fall
under their jurisdiction) and that I was primarily a CD listener (still
am) so they shouldn't expect much from me and it'd just be a waste of
paper and stamps. They insisted on getting me to do it anyways.

They sure sounded surprised when they called me back enquiring as to why I
sent them back a blank journal. My matter-of-fact response was, "well, I
tried to tell you people about my situation, but you just didn't seem to
get it."
